Abstract in brief

  • The study combined data from multiple longitudinal studies involving thousands of participants to explore how self-esteem and social relationships influence each other over time, finding that they mutually predict each other with similar strength.
  • These effects were consistent across different groups (such as age, gender, and ethnicity), although the impact of self-esteem on relationships varied depending on the type of relationship and who reported on the relationship (self or others).
  • Overall, the results support theories that suggest self-esteem and social relationships are interconnected in a reciprocal, positive feedback loop throughout a person's life.]

Good connection leads to higher #selfesteem . So maybe it's time to end the myth. You know, the myth that says if you achieve more and earn more in life you'll feel better about yourself. https://t.co/S6HJZ2L0Eg
